Though voice actor Eman Ayaz has seemingly spent the last three years on the cast of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake, she learned Ubisoft canceled the game the same way you did: online.
"My brother reached out to me on WhatsApp and sent a text asking if I was OK," she says. "And I was like, 'Yeah, I'm OK. Why wouldn't I be OK?' And he sends me a link to an article, and that's where I read that it has been shelved forever."
Prince of Persia remake dev comments on its cancellation: "We know this is deeply disappointing"
Former Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake dev says the end was "close," but Ubisoft had other "priorities"
Ubisoft hits "major reset" button, cancels 6 games, delays 7 more, and confirms 4 new IP
"Just last month," Ayaz says, "I had filmed marketing for this project. Everything had been running smoothly, and that was the last that I had heard."
Ayaz describes a steadfast commitment to Prince of Persia, saying, "I said no to other opportunities during this process. I broke my foot and continued to come to work and act, because it just meant so much to me. I pushed myself past old limits and discovered things I didn't even know existed inside of me through the lives that I lived in this character."
Since the remake's cancellation, Ayaz says she "can't publicly attach my name to it," though she stresses "it brought out what I honestly believe is the best performance of my career."
"Don't assume that, because something was shelved, it didn't matter," she concludes.
"At this stage, this remains a proposal, and no decision will be final until a collective agreement is reached with employee representatives and validated by French authorities," Ubisoft says in a statement.
After 6 years of waiting, multiple delays, and a complete reboot, Prince of Persia remake dev comments on its cancellation: "We know this is deeply disappointing."
